    Hello,

    i want to add an additional rule in my strategy.

    This rule is:

    After a Longtrade only is possible a Shorttrade

    and

    after a Shorttrade only is possible a Longtrade.

    How is the Code for this?

    Thank You for help in advance!

    Hi, you only need to flag a variable when you launch a new trade:

    once trade=0

if longconditions and (trade=-1 or trade=0) then 
 buy 1 lot at market 
 trade = 1
endif 

if shortconditions and (trade=1 or trade=0) then 
 sellshort 1 lot at market 
 trade = -1
endif

    Then test this “trade” variable to see if your last trade were a long or a short position.
